The 2023 season may have come to a close in terms of official ATP ranking events this year, but that doesn’t mean that all tennis betting action has concluded. Just a few days after the Nitto ATP Finals have finished, some of the best players in the world are jetting off to Spain for the final stretch of the 2023 Davis Cup Finals.
Two big story lines exist heading into these six days of tennis: Novak Djokovic and Canada. Which will prevail? Canada has been brilliant in team tennis the past 12 months, winning the Davis Cup in late 2022 and most recently claiming the Billie Jean King Cup. Can they defend their title in Malaga this week? Or will the participation of Djokovic, undeniably the best player in the world right now, propel Serbia to their second-ever title?
We break down all the latest betting odds from bookmaker William Hill and outline the best bets to make on the 2023 Davis Cup Finals this week.

Looking at the outright betting odds ahead of the 2023 Davis Cup Finals kicking off this week, one team stands head and shoulders above the rest. With odds of just 2.62, Serbia is the clear favourite—courtesy of their headline player, world No. 1 Djokovic. Behind them is Italy on 4.50, with their own big name in the form of Jannik Sinner bolstering their chances.
Great Britain comes in at third, slightly ahead of Australia with odds of 5.50 and 6.00 respectively, while the defending champion Canada rounds out the top five betting favourites at 9.00.
For anyone that has paid attention to tennis this year, there’s a clear and obvious bet to make on the 2023 Davis Cup Finals. With a return of 2.62, backing Serbia to win is the sensible option. Recent ATP Finals winner and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic has time and time again emphasized that winning the Davis Cup is one of his priorities at this stage of his career. When Djokovic makes something a priority, it happens—just look at the four out of five big titles he’s won in 2023.
Expect Serbia to rally around the presence of Djokovic and go all the way here. They face a weakened Great Britain in their opening match, with Andy Murray withdrawing due to injury. Djokovic has had the metal over Sinner just days ago if they’re required to meet in the semi-finals. If successful their finals opponent won’t be particularly intimidating regardless of who makes it, with Canada looking much weaker than this time last year.
